2 Gluttons

Angeline got a sudden craving for chicken rice last friday and dragged Ck to find it along Selegie Road. Angeline is not just craving for any chicken rice, but those that are served at the old 'kopi thiams'. As Angeline and Ck were at Plaza Singapura to collect Angeline's U700, the nearest place to look for chicken rice wuold be Selegie Road.

After walking around Selegie Road for 5 minutes, Angeline realized that the shop that she had in mind had closed down. Unwillingly to give up, she pulled Ck across the street to Park Lane to try her luck. Angeline remembered that there was a restaurant called Rex located at Park Lane that serves chicken rice. Angeline thought that she got really lucky when she found the place. Angeline and Ck then sat down happily to enjoy the chicken rice. Maybe only Angeline has enjoyed the chicken rice.

Angeline's taste bud would give the chicken rice 3 stars / 5 stars. Still feeling rather full, Angeline insisted on eating the beancurd at Rochor. Angeline told Ck that the walk to Rochor would be able to digest some of the food, thus she would be able to eat the beancurd. Once again, Ck was pulled to Rochor to eat the beancurd by Angeline.

On their way there, Angeline passed by at least 3 shops that served chicken rice. And all these shops are located at those old 'kopi thiams'. Therefore, Angeline began to wonder what did she mean when she thought she got really lucky just a while ago.

Ck offered to buy the beancurd and asked Angeline if she wanted some doughsticks to go along. Angeline agreed and told him to get one for him and one for her. What Angeline had in mind was ONE PAIR OF DOUGHSTICK. Well, Ck returned with TWO pairs of doughsticks and said, "One for you (pointed to one) and one for me (pointed to the other)." Angeline took one pair of doughstick and told him, "I mean one for you (pointed to one of the doughstick from the pair) and one for me (pointed to the other)." Oh well!

The 2 gluttons were super full from eating and decided to take a walk to Sim Lim Square to catch a bus home. Angeline offered to show Ck the way, as she is more familiar with the place. When Angeline and Ck were reaching the bus stop, Angeline began to wonder if bus service 66 stops at the bus stop outide Sim Lim Square. Angeline has presumed that it does because it goes to her workplace which is like 4 bustops down the road. Before they reached the bus stop, Angeline told Ck about her doubts. At that point in time, Bus 66 stopped at the bus stop, picked up some passengers and zoomed off. Angeline and Ck stared at the bus and Ck told Angeline, "One good news and one and bad news. The good news is Bus 66 does come here and the bad news is we just missed the bus." Angeline knew that already. Nonetheless, the 2 gluttons still managed to make it home.

Do You?

One of Angeline's friend just said, "I do" on 7th June 2008.

Together with the rest of Etonhouse (Vanda)'s staff, Angeline attended Priya and Nathan's solemnisation cum dinner at Fort Canning Gallery and Foyer. Since it started in 2001, Etonhouse (Vanda) has never employed any male teachers up to date. Just in case you are still wondering, the bride is Angeline's friend cum ex-colleague from Etonhouse (Vanda). Just in case you still wondering, the bride is Priya. If you are still wondering, please close this window. Oh well!

Angeline was all dolled up, ready to set off and reach the wedding venue, looking her very best. Due to the (damn) heavy evening traffic, poor directions of Fort Canning Carpark, confusing signage at Fort Canning and Angeline's bad sense of direction, Angeline arrived late. Fortunately, Angeline has Lissa to guide her the way and Shu Ping to join her in coming late. Heh!

Angeline waited for another 45 minutes before the solemnisation started and waited for 15 minutes before dinner was served. As it was Angeline's first time attending an Indian wedding, Angeline was bubbling with excitment and couldn't wait for it to start, thus the 1 hour was virturally a 2 hour wait for Angeline. Luckily, Angeline got extremely obliging ex-colleauges to cam-whore with her as a form of entertainment.

Unlike Chinese wedding where the DJ will play a super romantic (not forgetting emotional) song to announce the walk-in of the bride and the groom, the MC at Priya's wedding was the one who announced the walk-in. Quickly (and thankfully), the solemnisation was next on the agenda. Angeline thought that it was rather amusing for the Justic of Peace to ask if the bride and the groom were present at their free will. Angeline has always presumed that this is the 21st century and that question seems redundant. Angeline is not being rude here, if you like, ignorant is a much more appreciate choice of word to describe Angeline. Angeline guesses that this is the standard procedure and every married couple has been through it.

After the solemnisation, the MC announced, "Dinner will be served and you are invited to get your dinner at the buffet table located at the foyer." As Angeline and her friends were seated next to the entrance to the foyer, they were one of the first to get into the queue for the buffet diner. Angeline shall reinforce that they are not being 'kiasu'.

Looking at the programme line-up, there is a 'Kick Off Your Boot' item. Angeline didn't have the chance to kick off her boot and she has to leave for her movie date with Ck. Just before she was making her exit, the DJ has to play 'Heaven is a Place on Earth', Angeline wondered if the DJ was trying to tempt her with her favourite retro song. Oh well!

Warmest Congratulations to Priya and Nathan from Angeline!

P/S: Ms Shu Ping, when is your turn?
P/P/S: Ms Lissa, when is yours?
